Frankenstein is made up of several literary elements, the novel begins with the creation of...... middle of the card.... ..the victor and the monster come to life. Another theme was individual versus society, it showed that when Victor first created the monster, he thought about himself and his own individual curiosity and greed before considering what the monster could do to society. It initially seemed like a selfish, self-empowerment plan, which ultimately backfired. The structure of this theme made it a little difficult to understand some situations. Some situations end with an epiphany. This novel portrays Man against himself because Victor created the monster due to his selfish reasons and curiosities. The monster eventually killed his loved ones, which backfired on his own creation.
